Jimmy Swaggart, 90, is one of the most well-known televangelists in the world.
He is the founder of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries.
His son Donnie says Swaggart went into cardiac arrest around 8 o’clock Sunday morning and “has never regained consciousness.”
He said paramedics responded to Swaggart’s home and were able to get a heartbeat before rushing him to a local hospital.
“Right now he is in ICU and without a miracle, without a miracle, his time will be short,” Donnie Swaggart told the congregation during a special prayer service held Sunday evening at their church in Baton Rouge.
“We’re going to give the Lord an opportunity to work,” he added.
A native of Ferriday, Louisiana, Swaggart also founded the Jimmy Swaggart Bible College.
He is the senior pastor of the Family Worship Center, located off of Bluebonnet Boulevard in Baton Rouge.
This is second post....See Yesterday
Cardiac arrest is not something you usually recover from. It’s different than a “heart attack” or MI. The lack of oxygen to the brain will damage you in short order.
“Cardiac arrest is not something you usually recover from”
Not at 90 you don’t.
An imperfect man because none but Christ is perfect. His music greatly blessed me.
Heck being 90 alone not something a lot recover from
I seem to remember a scandal involving him and prostitutes. Okay several scandals. He was really into their company.
When you’re 90 its day to day anyway.
Hour to hour............
Just send in another $500 and God will provide a miracle...
A 90 year old getting prolonged CPR.
Yikes.
I think he’s cheated death for a few years by now.
Him and Oral Roberts can have a chat soon.............
Swaggart was huge back in 1980’s when televangelists were at their peak, then it turned out he spent a lot of time in the company of prostitutes, and not to minister and help them rise from their depravity as Jesus preached. Nope he was just employing their more carnal services. He repented and asked for forgiveness, but the damage was done, though he kept his ministry he was never a fraction of what he was before.
I didn’t know he was still alive.....
“We’re going to give the Lord an opportunity to work,” he added.”
As if God needs human acquiessence to perform anything. Mainstream Christianity constantly lies about who truly has freewill.
It has never been man.....
I don’t think he is at this time..............
Well Mickey and Jerry Lee have already past so he will be the final to die!
